India will win
by VB on Jul 21, 2008 10:19 AM  Permalink 

N deal has to become a reality like IT, auto and services in India. This will bring proud to India. Any Govt without left would run much better and now BSP another spoiler. We request polititians to work for the country and support PM who is dedicated for the cause of India. This is one more golden opportunity.

Speaker episode: Tip of CPI-M iceberg
by seshasayee on Jul 21, 2008 10:18 AM  Permalink 

The author says that Commies place party before individual. Weel I don't think it is true anymore. The way they do hero worship of Jyothi Basu and had him till he is 90 as CM reflects that this is moe of a myth about Commies.

Is Somnath Chatterji right?
by VASUDEVAN V on Jul 21, 2008 10:12 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Neerja Chowdhury has certainly presented her view points about Somnath Chatterji as Speaker in the right perspective. However,is Somnath Chatterji right in making the statement that he does not want to appear to be voting with the BJP, a communal party. In other words, does he mean to say that if there was no BJP in the picture, he would have resigned as Speaker and voted with his party against the UPA government? That is the million dollar question. Obviously, it means that his assertion of Speaker being neutral is secondary to his disinclination to vote with BJP. Going by this interpretation, it proves that Somnath Chatterji is a humbug, resting on his laurels as an outstanding Parliamentarian of 40 years standing. There is also one more point I would like to emphasise. By saying that BJP is communal and he would not want to be seen to be voting with them, he has proved his bias beyond doubt and to say he was neutral as a Speaker or will be neutral in future, including in the Trust Vote, is questionable. It will be honourable for him to resign both as Speaker and as a MP so that he will not be present in the Parliament during the Trust Vote. I, as a supporter of BJP, strongly object to his statement, as it insults me as a voter. Remember, crores of Indians who vote for BJP are not communal. If they are communal, just imagine what will happen to the fabric of our society. Stop insulting us, you dirty politicians!

SOMNATHJI NOT VOTING ALONGWITH BJP

IF AN ACT IS INTRODUCED TO INCREASE THE PERKS SUCH AS SALARY, ALLOWANCES AND SUCH OTHER BENEFITS BY CONGRESS, WHAT WILL SOMANATH DO?

WILL HE SAY NO, JUST BECAUSE BJP ACCEPTS FOR SUCH BENEFITS TO MPs.

Hi guys,

Don't trust this cheat Vasudevan.

For those who are around these forums knows very well that Vasudevan is a cold blooded Communist. He could not digest the fact that there is a healthy revolt within his party.

To cover that embarassment, he is now trying to pose as BJP man and blaming Speaker.

Vasu, atleast change ur name before posting contradictory comments.

Ofcourse, we all know that like other commies,u too sold ur brain and heart to China, our biggest enemy.

Mr.Entomologist (or whatever and whoever you are): Do you mean to say there is only one `Vasudevan' in this country? Come on grow up man. To me, to be called a `communist' is blashphemous. I may even tolerate the Congress, though headed by an Italian house-wife, but never the Communists, who are out to destroy not only this country but the whole world. I may be a `Vasudevan' but not the `Vasudevan' you are referring to!!!

This is the right time!
by Shyam on Jul 21, 2008 09:58 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

All the four years this old man was troubled all parties alike. They made him the Speaker, never allowed him to speak, never obeyed his orders, never obliged him by allowing the House to function peacefully, always rushed to the well of the House, shouted slogans, created all sorts of nonsense. He bore it all with patience. Now is his time. He will not listen to anybody - will not resign from Speaker's post and disobey Leftists. Will not support the UPA led Government. He may perhaps will not allow the House to function on the D-Day. Or, who knows, it may all be a part of bigger conspiracy, to withdraw support in public, then on the voting day create chaos in the House for some reason and this time the reason being Somnath Chatterjee functioning as Speaker. The Speaker will not resign and the Left will not allow the House to function! What a great Idea. Let us watch the tamasha taking place at crores of rupees of public money!

nuke the deal

somnath always says he's against a communal party like bjp. left and congress have both openly sided with muslims or raised their causes for votes, pretty much the same way bjp does. so, if minorities are supported they become secular, eh ? thats rather a funny metric!

Leftists' challenge
by Chittur Subbaraman on Jul 21, 2008 08:21 AM  Permalink 

The speaker is right. He should be above party politics. If CPM takes adverse action against Shri Chatterjee, it would put CPM in poor light in the eyes of every democratic and rightminded person. Whatever may be the outcome of the Confidence vote, one thing is or should be certain; i.e. Leftists should be wiped out of this country's politics, at least for the next five years. By the way, no analyst has commented on the proposition: If both for and against the motion, equal number of votes is cast and the Speaker refuses to exercise his casting vote, what would be the position?

Somnath is a nut case
by Netflix on Jul 21, 2008 07:12 AM  Permalink 

Somnath is a nut case. He will do anything to grab attention of media. So here is the argument forwarded by this article: "Somnath is impartial because he thinks he should defy his party which is voting with BJP".
So an impartial speaker can openly criticize his party voting with another.
So much of impartiality :-)

Karat gang is like a snake on the heart of mother India but they are at least better than Somnath that they are openly doing anti-Indian things. Somanth will do the same but so much of mumbo jumbo that our media will propagate the saintly character of him.

It is so sad that BJP is run by a idiots at at the moment. I hope they will get their mind before the trust vote and would not vote together with anti-Indian Karat. Best deal would be BJP boycotting the voting.

Think positive
by shiva on Jul 21, 2008 07:06 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

When Rome is burning Nero is fiddling. What do the parties hope to achieve? How they propose to solve the energy problem when we are facing darkness at noon? Oil is depleting, polluting & costlier by the day. There will be fewer exporters who can manipulate supplies to their advantage. The equation has changed from the days Sheik Yamani wanted to price the oil low to keep the renewables at bay in 1980's and succeeded. Now there have been no major discoveries in forty years & whatever is left is difficult to get them out.

US is the destroyer but also the creator! The world looks to them (no disrespect to the rest!). Al Gore has challenged them to produce every kilowatt of electricity through renewwables like wind, solar etc in ten years. He will rather be out of the debilitating politics (what about ours then?). Many scientists agree with him that it is doable than spending equal amounts in dependency syndrome of foreign fossil fuel to 70%. Boon Pickens & others are already getting into the act to get renewables priced less than oil.

Solar energy can be tapped soon in greater quantity & the cells are from sand! They are getting cheaper. Nothing is impossible forever & the momentum is gaining speed. Forty minutes of sunlight is enough for one year supply! Also sunlight falling in 1% in Sahara desert can power the world. Our potential is estimated at 600000mws, many times our requirement.

Think of aam aadmi dear leaders & look beyond the tip of your noses!

Don't get carried away by the energy propoganda. There is very little truth in it. How much energy are they going to make out of it and by when will the first unit start functioning? Where is the budget allocation for the nuclear energy plant? Where do they propose to set up this plant? Every state in the country wants energy - Or they going to set up one plant in each state or will they handle it Centrally and place it in the US? If they want to place it in Maharashtra, then Tamil Nadu will not allow that. If they want to place it in West Bengal, then Momta Banerji will not allow that. If they want to place it in New Delhi, everybody else will oppose it.

Neeraj Chaudary's arguments are not correct-II
by mallaiah anchoori on Jul 21, 2008 06:30 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

More than on left,Chaudary should have come heavily on BJP which is going on its stand on N.Deal.It was the BJP which originally initiated the deal & now for political expediency it is going back forgetting its usefulness & effectively imposing an interim poll on the nation which is reeling under economic issues like spiraling prices & galloping inflation,in case the govt is voted out..Her example of opposing any emergency if imposed by the govt does not hold good for the instant issue since emergency is decried by all and is just axing at the very tenets of democracy while the deal is beneficial even according to BJP with whom they want to share the common goal of pulling the carpet.How they can expect even this strength of 59 MPs in the ensuing elections so as to make it a force to keep away BJPs grabbing the power?In stead,it is giving a big handle to BJP to enter the fray at a time when the political situation in various states is certainly favourable to it with bright prospects for scoring more in the forth coming polls.All these are not some think unknown to its leaders who, standing on a false prestige,are keenly bent upon pulling down the govt.Their thinking that they would extend their support later after elections is just laughable & is like some body's wish to kill out of spite and try to revive the deceased later again. Pride goes before fall & false pride goes much faster to bring the decay.It is still not to late to change its stand in national interest.

Anchoori:

INTERIM poll?.... ;-)

Does the year 1998 ring any bells in your mind?... It might remind you some simple things in life... ...

Elections after 13 months are INTERIM... Elections after 4 1/2 years, ain't...

Anything before completion of the total tenure is termed interim. The term of Lok Sabha is FIVE years and anything forced before this term is completed is interim. Even if it were to happen after four and half years it would be called interim.

Mr Alright!!
I have no misconception!Our friend Shyam has clarified adequately the point raised by you.Whether it be after an year or after 4 years,the timing chosen by the oppositions to cause an untimely election and burden the national economy is not correct.This needs to be understood by you,dear friend!
